Former Head of State, Retired General Abdusalami
Abubakar, has said that 60 years after Nigeria gained its
independence, it appears a significant number of political actors
have not learnt the lessons that led to crises in its previous
attempts at entrenching democracy and good governance.
He said this in an exclusive interview on Channels TV’s News
Night on Wednesday as the country prepares to mark its 60th
anniversary.
According to him, although some have tried to imbibe the
lessons, there is need for the country to chart a path to peace and
development.
“Some tried to implement what has been learnt, others are
throwing caution to the dogs. You will find that there is a lot of
agitation in the country, everybody wants to go out,” he said.
“There is Arewa Conservative Forum, there is Afenifere, thinking
of the Yoruba nation, there is IPOD, thinking of the Biafra, the
Urobo nation, Ijaw nation, and so on. So, you can now see we are
now slipping back.
